her mamaw's plate
shattered on the kitchen floor
another piece of love, gone
fried chicken, cornbread
meals over a well loved table
no longer have a proper home
a scratch will heal & scar
that wound will go forgotten
but not love given over an oven.

was it lambent starlight
flickering as her car
sped down the freeway
with the windows down
music blasting through speakers
or was it just her astigmatism
making all lights sparkle?
romanticism made her life
just a little better
turning a runaway
into a fairytale princess

a sixteen year old girl in 2005
a knock off mp3 player blasting
"take this to your grave"
face pressed against a window
on a school bus going & coming
to & from unsafe, cold places
she doesn't understand fractions
but she understands that when she wraps a studded belt
around her throat-

Like a skipping CD,

they loom over me
but I can't turn it off
there's no next track
no batteries to run dry
I just scream to tune you out
I'd go deaf just to
never hear your voice again

the temperature was searing

if only it could take her under

from a life too hostile

#VSS365 He regretted selling the rights to his Internet puppet show to a production company. The immense merch doomed to become slap-dash garbage with his face slapped across it was just as troubling as the fact that no one could separate him from the character he played on tv.

a horse bucking her off
as they flew across a meadow
didn't spook her

against her throat
not a lick of self preservation-

who want her to be less

Judd blinked at her. She was firing blanks disguised as barbs at him in hopes of maiming but Judd knew better. She was trying to sabotage them so she could justifying leaving him. He took a took a deep breath and held it like a tourniquet against his wounds. "Say it again, and I'll let you go."

"Oh I don't know anything,"
He says, bats his eyes at her.
A boyish grin, playing clueless
about as well as she plays piano
without a lesson in her life.
Her hands on go her hips,
cocks her head to the side.
One more time, lies cross his lips
but this time, she gets off the ride

spin me around the dance floor
place a kiss upon my cheek
tell me that I'm pretty
and that you'll never leave
treat me like a princess
turn my life into a dream
make me fall for you

but maybe I will close my eyes
and tell a fairytale

#VSS365 In another happier world, someone chivalrous would come by with a lifeboat & scoop her up. They would kiss her stupid & their love would magically make her want to stay. But this wasn't that magical world. This world was so cruel that she had to trek back to the shore alone, like always.
#VSS365 The problem with trying to drown herself was that nobody would buy it as an accident. Not when she was known as a strong swimmer, spending her childhood in water. But either way- by an aphotic lake or depression- she was being swallowed by a darkness she didn't care to fight anymore.
